Chapter 178 The Spirit King Finally Breaks Through
A chilling, snake-like voice echoed in the empty hall, and a bone-chilling killing intent instantly enveloped Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye.
Ye Shuli's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, "Oh no!" This damn villain, he arrived just in time!
"Sister Li, be careful!" Jiang Ye shielded Ye Shuli behind him, and a large, exaggeratedly designed knife appeared in his hand at some point. The blade gleamed coldly, giving off a somewhat chuunibyou vibe.
The newcomer was dressed in black, his face hidden in the shadows, revealing only a pair of cold eyes, like a cheetah in the dark, waiting for its chance to strike.
It is none other than the fearsome Shadow Assassin!
He exuded a suffocating sense of oppression, like a messenger from hell bringing an omen of death.
"Ha, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!" The Shadow Assassin sneered, his figure flashed, and he transformed into a black shadow, rushing straight towards Jiang Ye.
The speed is astonishing.
Jiang Ye dared not be negligent. He brandished his broadsword and unleashed a set of self-created "Wild Wind Slashes," a fierce display of sword light and shadow.
However, these moves appear somewhat clumsy and laughable in the face of the Shadow Assassin.
The shadow assassin moved erratically, like a ghost, easily dodging Jiang Ye's attacks. At the same time, the dagger in his hand struck Jiang Ye's vitals like a venomous snake.
"Damn, this guy's cheating!" Jiang Ye muttered as he dodged the attack in a flustered manner.
Ye Shuli frowned slightly. This shadow assassin's strength was not to be underestimated, and Jiang Ye was clearly no match for him.
But she felt no fear; instead, a surge of excited fighting spirit welled up within her.
"Jiang Ye, keep him occupied, I'll find an opportunity!" Ye Shuli said in a deep voice.
Although Jiang Ye was inwardly groaning, he gritted his teeth and persevered, wielding his broadsword with great force, trying his best to keep the Shadow Assassin away from Ye Shuli.
The Gu family patriarch and young master watched the battle from the sidelines, secretly marveling at it.
The two of them worked together so well, it was practically flawless.
Ye Shuli, in particular, is just a Spirit Master, yet she was able to command Jiang Ye, a peak Spirit Venerable, to deal with the Shadow Assassin, a late-stage Spirit Venerable. Her courage and strategy are truly admirable.
"Sister Li, I can't hold on much longer!" Jiang Ye cried out in distress. The Shadow Assassin's attacks were becoming increasingly fierce, and he felt like a mouse being toyed with by a cat, on the verge of death at any moment.
Ye Shuli's eyes narrowed, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.
it's time……
"Jiang Ye, retreat!"
Ye Shuli let out a delicate shout, her figure flashing like a ghost, and in a few quick steps she closed in on the shadow assassin.
She no longer used fancy magic, but instead incorporated modern combat skills into her spiritual power, her punches and kicks carrying a sharp whistling sound, aiming straight for the shadow assassin's vitals.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sounds of fists landing echoed through the hall, accompanied by the muffled groans of the shadow assassins, making for a truly explosive scene.
Ye Shuli's attacks poured down like a storm, each strike carrying immense force, forcing the Shadow Assassin into a desperate retreat, leaving his black figure in a sorry state.
The Shadow Assassin stared in horror, his eyes wide with terror. He had never seen such a bizarre fighting style before.
This woman is completely unpredictable!
She's clearly just a spiritualist, how could she possess such immense power?
Her every move was neither a martial art from a fantasy world, yet it contained an incredible explosive power.
"Holy crap, is this woman cheating?!" The Shadow Assassin cursed inwardly, feeling as if he had been run over by a tank, with pain all over his body.
When the young master of the Gu family saw the Shadow Assassin being overwhelmed by Ye Shuli, he was filled with rage.
He clenched his fist, secretly gathering his spiritual power, preparing to secretly help the Shadow Assassin.
"Hmph, what a treacherous villain!" The Spirit King Instructor sneered, his figure flashed, and he stood in front of the young master of the Gu family. The spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from his body pressed down on the young master of the Gu family, making him unable to move.
"You...!" The young master of the Gu family was ashen-faced, with veins bulging on his forehead. He wished he could tear the Spirit King mentor to pieces.
He hadn't expected the old man to be so vigilant; his plot had been completely foiled.
At this moment, Ye Shuli's offensive showed no signs of abating. She sneered and kicked the Shadow Assassin hard in the chest, sending him flying and crashing into a stone pillar with a loud bang.
"Pfft!" The Shadow Assassin coughed up blood. He struggled to stand up, but found himself powerless, as if he were being crushed by a mountain.
The entire arena fell silent; everyone was stunned by Ye Shuli's formidable strength.
This woman is practically a battle maniac; her explosive power is absolutely unparalleled!
The patriarch of the Gu family couldn't help but gasp, and began to reassess the level of threat posed by Ye Shuli.
Ye Shuli slowly walked towards the Shadow Assassin, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.
She looked down at him, a dangerous glint in her eyes.
“You…” The Shadow Assassin opened his mouth with difficulty, but was interrupted by Ye Shuli coldly as soon as he uttered a single word.
"Want to know my secret?" Ye Shuli's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of eerie laughter.
The Shadow Assassin's eyes widened. He tried to back away but found himself unable to move.
Ye Shuli's cold laugh sent the Shadow Assassin into a deep icy abyss.
A wave of despair washed over him, and he realized that he was probably doomed today.
Damn it, failing the mission is a small matter, but losing my life is a big deal!
The Shadow Assassin steeled his resolve and decided to fight to the death.
His spiritual power surged wildly, and black light burst forth from his body, like a bomb about to explode.
"Want to kill me? Then let's go to hell together!" the Shadow Assassin roared, an aura of destruction emanating from him.
This is a move that results in mutual destruction—Shadow Burst!
"Holy crap! You're playing this big?!" Jiang Ye jumped back in fright. If this exploded, wouldn't he be turned to ashes?
However, Ye Shuli remained completely calm.
A disdainful smile curled at the corner of her lips, as if everything was under her control.
"You think you can hurt me with such a small trick?" With a light lift of her jade hand, a golden light flashed, and an ancient talisman appeared out of thin air, radiating a sacred and powerful aura.
This is precisely the power of the guardian spirits!
Golden light enveloped Ye Shuli, forming an indestructible barrier.
The shockwave from the Shadow Burst struck the golden light barrier, vanishing without a trace as if it had disappeared into thin air.
"What?!" The Shadow Assassin's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. How could this be?
!
His strongest move was so easily neutralized?
!
The entire venue fell into a deathly silence; everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events.
The power of this guardian spirit is actually so great?
!
The clan patriarch and the Spirit King mentor looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.
They had never seen such incredible power.
"It's over," Ye Shuli said casually.
She walked step by step toward the shadow assassin, each step feeling as if it were treading on his heart, filling him with suffocating fear.
The Shadow Assassin had completely lost the will to resist; he lay limp on the ground like a dead dog.
Ye Shuli approached the spirit, which radiated a soft light, as if it were beckoning to her.
She took a deep breath and, following the rules of the Spirit King realm, began to absorb the power of the spiritual objects.
A powerful energy surged into her body, and she felt her body filled with power, as if she were about to ascend to heaven.
A dazzling light emanated from her, illuminating the entire hall.
The young master of the Gu family watched from the side, his eyes reddening with jealousy that almost consumed him.
Why?
How could this woman possess such immense power?
!
He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh, but he dared not make a sound.
Ye Shuli slowly opened her eyes, her eyes sparkling with confidence.
She succeeded!
She has finally broken through to the Spirit King realm!
A powerful aura emanated from her, making everyone present feel suffocated.
She stood there, like a queen high above, looking down upon all living beings.
"Is this... the power of the Spirit King?" Ye Shuli asked softly, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Jiang Ye watched from the sidelines, feeling both nervous and excited. His heart was practically leaping out of his throat. His sister Li was truly amazing!
That look in his eyes was like looking at the female lead in an idol drama, full of love and pride.
He wished he could rush up right now and give Sister Li a big bear hug, shouting, "Sister Li is awesome!"
The golden light around Ye Shuli dissipated, and she slowly opened her eyes. Her clear eyes seemed to contain the stars and the sea, and a powerful and majestic aura emanated from her, as if a queen had descended, making people dare not look directly at her.
She simply stood there casually, yet she exuded an inexplicable sense of oppression, making people want to worship her.
"Sister Li, you're amazing!" Jiang Ye could no longer contain his excitement. Like a frolicking husky, he rushed over and hugged Ye Shuli tightly, wishing he could meld her into his own body.
"Slow down, you're going to break my back." Ye Shuli patted Jiang Ye's back with a smile, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
It feels so good to be unconditionally supported and loved.
The two embraced tightly, and the people around them spontaneously applauded, cheering for Ye Shuli's breakthrough and moved by their sweetness. This scene was simply a display of affection, so sweet it was almost sickening.
Ye Shuli felt the surging power within her body, and her heart was filled with confidence.
She raised her head and glanced at everyone present. The young master of the Gu family lowered his proud head in front of her, and his face looked worse than if he had swallowed a fly.
The once arrogant young master of the Gu family now doesn't even have the courage to look at her.
Ye Shuli smiled slightly, feeling a surge of joy in her heart. This feeling was truly wonderful!
She finally stood at the pinnacle of glory, becoming a figure revered by all.
At that moment, she felt as if she owned the whole world.
"What should we do next?" Ye Shuli turned to look at Jiang Ye and asked with a smile, her eyes filled with anticipation.
